ESRC responsive mode: new investigator grants round two
About This Opportunity
This opportunity supports researchers at the start of their careers to enable their transition to become independent researchers through gaining experience of managing and leading research projects and teams. It also provides an opportunity for them to support their own skill development, and that of any research staff employed on the grant. Applicants must be based at a UK research organisation eligible for ESRC funding. Proposals can draw from the wider sciences, but the social sciences must represent more than 50% of the research focus and effort. New investigator grants are designed to allow early career researchers to gain experience of research leadership and management and to formulate their plans for their research careers. While the configuration of the team should be informed by the proposed project, ESRC expects that by the end of these awards the new investigator will be able to demonstrate their ability to lead research projects and teams.
